Summary Some character development is completely ruined by mishandled movie sequels. Essentially, movie sequels have ruined characters when they contradict, repeat, or otherwise completely ignore a character's arc from previous installments. Movie sequels that were not planned when the previous movie was in production are tricky, and it is difficult to write a continuation of a character arc that feels organic under these circumstances.
Where Star Wars: The Force Awakens picks up, it seems like during the 20 or so years Han spent with Leia, he didn't change at all. He decided to go back to self-serving smuggling despite moving away from this in his original arc. He sort of explains himself, saying he went back to it as a coping mechanism after losing his son. However, the fact that Han and Leia are prepared to fight for Ben then makes his retrograde development during the time he did nothing even worse.

Admittedly, Bob doesn't go off and do more hero work, leaving the kids with a babysitter when Helen believes she can work because he is at home with them. However, he doesn't tell her that Jack-Jack has started manifesting powers because he wants her to restore the superheroes' reputation so he can be a superhero again.
With Peter no longer a part of the story in The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader, Edmund essentially inherits his arc. He is restless in the real world, clashes with Caspian over who is in charge, and becomes the target of the White Witch's ghost. Edmund being completely content with being the second-in-command works in Prince Caspian; he is at his best when his storyline is not driven by easily resolved drama, allowing him the chance to show off how far he has come.
